The league is reviewing Suh's play against Cleveland. The hit, which wasn't penalized, was shown on a video posted on NFL.com on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2013, as vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said, "Why don't we look at it some more?" in the league's officiating command center.

The last time Seattle and Arizona met, the Seahawks handed the Cardinals a 58-0 whipping, the worst defeat in franchise history.

That game was in Seattle, where the Seahawks (No. 2, AP Pro32) are nearly unbeatable. And it was at the end of Ken Whisenhunt’s regime as Arizona coach last December.

Now, Bruce Arians is in charge of the Cardinals (No. 18, AP Pro32), and they have been competitive in all but one game while going 3-3. They are 2-0 at home heading into Thursday night, when they will be 6½-point underdogs.

The reason they’ve kept things close is their defense, especially against the run. And it will be challenged by Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch, who has 487 yards and five TDs on the ground. Lynch is bothered by a hip injury, but he had a similar problem last week then played in a win over Tennessee.

The Seahawks (5-1) have allowed fewer points than any team that has played six games except Kansas City. Their secondary, led by Richard Sherman, will be ball-hawking all night, knowing that Carson Palmer has been picked 11 times.

Look for Seattle to add to Palmer’s interceptions total, but also look for Arizona to keep it much closer than 58 points.

SEAHAWKS, 20-14

No. 31 Tampa Bay (plus 7) at No. 24 Atlanta

At some point, the Falcons have to look like the Falcons we expected.

BEST BET: FALCONS, 26-13

No. 12 Baltimore (plus 2) at No. 26 Pittsburgh

Some think Steelers turned a corner with first win. We’re not so sure.
